She was a fantastic choice when the choices were her and Trump. That time has passed, and with it her value as a lesser evil.
By more objective measures, she's just another sack of shit.
She never was a fantastic choice, and the proof for that is that Trump is president. Had she been a fantastic choice, people would have voted for her. But sure, keep blaming all the voters for the Democrat inability to place someone remotely humane and electable instead of Ms. "We love Cheney and the US needs to have the most lethal armed forces in the world".
It's crazy to me that, after the resounding victory by a progressive that we've seen two days ago, you keep blaming the voters. As soon as someone remotely progressive appeared in an election, people went to vote for him in droves. Mamdani is a literal Muslim millennial, hardly the most appreciated demographic in the USA, and yet he smashed the opponents despite constant smear campaigns. Maybe there's a lesson or two you could learn from that?
The blame for culpability in the Trump regime's rise to power falls onto many different people and groups that absolutely includes the voters.
She was a fantastic choice -and here's the important part- compared to Trump.
Without that contrast, she was shit. Our options were a spoonful of shit vs a mountain of shit. The DNC is responsible for running a spoonful of shit, but the voters are responsible for choosing the mountain.
Should the DNC run people who aren't shit? YES. Please, yes. But that's not what we got.
All the rights we've lost under Trump, the economic collapse he's causing, the deaths he enthusiastically did nothing to prevent in Ukraine/Gaza, the families that have been torn apart by ICE... the voters could have stopped that. The voters chose to let it happen.
Is there a lesson to be learned here? Yeah. Several. Will that lesson actually stick where we need it to (to the DNC)? Lol fuck no. The DNC won't learn shit until we break out the guillotines. But in the meantime, we the voters need to be more strategic with our resources, which includes decision making like deliberately stepping on a turd if that puts us on a path around the mountain of shit.
